CONNEXIONs and CREST both developed interconnected IoT platforms for crime/terrorism detection and prediction for law enforcement agencies.
MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS ISRAEL LTD
Global communications company providing IoT platforms, computer vision, and command-and-control systems for law enforcement and public safety in EU research.
Their core work
Motorola Solutions Israel is the Israeli R&D arm of Motorola Solutions, a global leader in mission-critical communications and security technology. In H2020, they contributed advanced IoT platforms, computer vision, and command-and-control systems primarily for law enforcement and public safety applications. Their work spans real-time situational awareness tools, autonomous surveillance platforms, and secure communication infrastructure for first responders and security agencies. They also brought building performance monitoring expertise through sensor-based auditing systems in the energy domain.
What they specialise in
beAWARE, CONNEXIONs, and CREST all involved real-time decision support, visual analytics, and command-and-control capabilities for emergency responders.
CREST keywords include autonomous systems, computer vision, and web monitoring for threat detection scenarios.
CREST incorporated blockchain and audit trail technology alongside its IoT security platform.
TOPAs focused on continuous building performance auditing using sensor and monitoring tools, where Motorola served as coordinator.
How they've shifted over time
Motorola Solutions Israel began its H2020 participation in 2015 with an energy-sector project on building performance auditing (TOPAs), where they served as coordinator. From 2017 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward public security — delivering IoT platforms, computer vision, and decision-support tools for law enforcement across three consecutive projects (beAWARE, CONNEXIONs, CREST). The progression shows increasing technical sophistication, moving from weather-event response to full-spectrum crime and terrorism detection with blockchain, AR, and autonomous systems.
Motorola Solutions Israel is concentrating on integrated IoT-and-AI platforms for law enforcement, suggesting future collaborations will center on public safety, border security, and smart policing technologies.
How they like to work
Motorola Solutions Israel primarily participates as a technology partner rather than leading consortia — they coordinated only 1 of 4 projects. With 45 unique partners across 19 countries, they operate in large, diverse consortia typical of EU security research. Their role is that of a major technology provider bringing industrial-grade communications and platform integration capabilities to research-driven consortia.
Broad European network spanning 45 partners across 19 countries, reflecting the multinational consortium structure typical of H2020 security projects. As an Israeli company, they serve as a key non-EU technology contributor in European security research.
What sets them apart
Motorola Solutions Israel brings something rare to EU consortia: industrial-scale mission-critical communications expertise backed by a global corporation, combined with hands-on R&D in IoT, computer vision, and autonomous monitoring. Unlike academic partners or small tech firms, they can develop prototypes that align with actual deployment requirements for police forces and emergency services. Their dual experience in both energy monitoring and security gives them unusual versatility in sensor integration and real-time data platforms.
